    Prioritized the need to work on it was more like it. Our D sucks, this year. We can work hard to make it suck less, but it sucks- badly.
  2. moonslav59
    My first preferred line-up had Kiki at lead off, and I got shot down. The low career OBP does seem like a deal breaker. I haven't put him there since.
  3. moonslav59
    I was super high on Ward, a while back. I've lost a bit of the optimism, but yes, he has some serious "stuff," but needs to build on his control. He may make it to AAA, this year, solet's see what's he's got at the higher levels.
  4. moonslav59
    He's nice AAAA depth. He put up decent numbers over 2 seasons, so we know he can get it done.
  5. moonslav59
    From what I've heard, it may be great defense. Let's hope the offense is not a drag.
  6. moonslav59
    Many of the examples in that song are not really irony.
  7. moonslav59
    Big surprise! (Sarcasm alert)
  8. moonslav59
    I had been giving poster one a lot of grief about being such a debbie downer, so I felt my sarcasm would be obvious.
  9. moonslav59
    I was being sarcastic when I said "boring."

    Those games were so boring.
  12. moonslav59
    On paper, we're light years better than 2020.
  13. moonslav59
    I've already seen many signs. Our roster is way better than last year. I realize better than worst can still be bad, but we are not bad. Signs from the season? Many more wins. Improvement from many of our pre-prime and prime players, which is a huge percentage of our roster. Watching some kids get a look-see, at some point, this year. Excitement from Devers, Bogey, JD, Verdugo and others, including a few pitchers many have all but written off.
  14. moonslav59
    I can't help it if I'm feeling optimistic. Not for a great season but for a a clear sign we are getting much better.
  15. moonslav59
    I'm not seeing that, especially at this point in his career.

    Really looking forward to a dull season with nothing to cheer for. Thanks, Dave.
  18. moonslav59
    Close call for me. If it weren't for his 17 IP, last season, Houck's name would not even be part of this discussion. Pivetta has some nasty stuff, and yes, his history is long enough to not be too hopeful. It's hard to get very hopeful over either of these guys, but it's spring, so I'm optimistic on both- pretty close to evenly. I can certainly understand someone liking Houck's chances better, but 17 innings is smaller than a small sample size. What about these sample sizes? 517 IP 3.53 ERA MiLB (98 in AAA at 2.40)- Pivetta vs 249 IP 4.08 ERA MiLB (25 in AAA at 3.96)- Houck (Note: Pivetta was younger at every level in the minors as Houck had 3 years of college before pro ball.)
  19. moonslav59
    Very exciting! In 2002, we had Manny, Damon and Nixon, and missed the playoffs.
  20. moonslav59
    So, in a sense, they project Pivetta doing better, but Perez getting more IP.
  21. moonslav59
    Exactly. You apparently missed the sarcasm.
  22. moonslav59
    The infield has a little more to offer, but yes, it's hard.
  23. moonslav59
    One wanted too much honey. One got hives. One wanted to be a "king" bee elsewhere.
  24. moonslav59
    We have a bunch of arms that can start. The question is, are 6 good enough and healthy enough to hold us to Sale's retuen? ERod Eovaldi Richards Pivetta Perez Houck 2nd Tier Andriese Whitlock Seabold Mata Last resort: Gossett Hart Ward Politi German Winckowski Reyes Or, go with "an opener" day 6.
  25. moonslav59
    Let's not forget JBJ's career OPA+ of 94 (also 94 from 2017-2020). 99 Cordero 99 Marwin (108 since 2017/ 93 after trashcan year) 98 EHern (98 since 2017, too)
